Fortunately the neighbour’s advise worked, in spite of the obvious bad taste. Gene’s wife, Kristine, had an ingenious idea – why not stuff the capsicum powder into a gelatin capsule and then swallow the capsule? That way Gene could enjoy the benefits without the unpleasant taste.

With the help of Gene’s sister-in-law, Pauline, they soon sold the idea of encapsulated herbal products to local health food stores. With that Nature’s Sunshine was born.

Today, over a quarter century later, that table-top project has evolved into an international company.
